Also discussed are the building of criminal and civil cases against the stalker, the use of restraining orders, and victims’ rights (Stalking: A Handbook for Victims).
- Safety Plan Guidelines: A safety plan is a combination of suggestions, plans, and responses created to help victims reduce their risk of harm. It is a tool designed in response to the victim’s specific situation that evaluates what the victim is currently experiencing, incorporates the pattern of previous behavior, and examines options that will positively impact the victim’s safety (Safety Plan Guidelines).
